Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a

bubbling sound when the refrigerant is

pumped through the coils or tubing. This

is correct.

• When the compressor is on, the refriger-

ant is being pumped around and you will

hear a whirring sound and a pulsating

noise from the compressor. This is correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud-

den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan-

gerous physical phenomenon. This is cor-

rect.

• When the compressor switches on or

switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of

the temperature regulator. This is correct.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run continu-

ously, causing frost or ice on the evapo-

rator. If this happens, set the Tempera-

ture Regulator toward warmer settings to

allow automatic defrosting and so a sav-

ing in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if

it has a strong flavour

• position food so that air can circulate

freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment

Important! Do not use metallic instruments

to remove the tray from the freezer.

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags

and place on the glass shelf above the veg-

etable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two

days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these

should be covered and may be placed on

any shelf.

Fruits and vegetables: these should be thor-

oughly cleaned and placed in the special

drawer(s) provided. When in contact, lemon

juice can discolor the plastic parts of your

fridge. It is therefore recommended to keep

citruses in separate containers.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed

in special airtight containers or wrapped in

aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude

as much air as possible.

Bottles: these should have a cap and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating

plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be add-

ed during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable

it to be rapidly and completely frozen

and to make it possible subsequently to

thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or pol-

ythene and make sure that the packages

are airtight;
